  • Circulator conductor and housing configuration
    Patent number: 11916276
    Abstract: A circulator comprising a grounding plane including a first side and a second side, a magnet disposed on the first side of the grounding plane, a ferrite-based disk disposed on the second side of the grounding plane, and a conductor disposed on a side of the ferrite-based disk opposing the grounding plane. The conductor includes an elongate portion and the elongate portion has a distal end section projecting inwardly adjacent to a side of the magnet opposing the grounding plane. The circulator comprises a circulator housing including a plurality of side portions. The side portions have a first section and a second section, the second section extending further around a periphery of the housing than the first section such that a gap between neighboring first sections is wider than a gap between neighboring second sections.

  • SINTERING AIDS FOR DIELECTRIC MATERIALS CONFIGURED FOR CO-FIRING WITH NICKEL ZINC FERRITES
    Publication number: 20210050133
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of materials for microstrip and substrate integrated waveguide circulators/isolators which can be integrated with a substrate. This composite structure can serve as a platform for other components, allowing for improved miniaturization of components. In particular, a sintering aid can be used to improve the fit between a ferrite material and a dielectric material, improving performance.
